As the seasons transition and weather patterns shift, various parts of the United States are experiencing diverse and impactful weather phenomena.

In Garrett County, Maryland, Highland County, Virginia, and several counties in West Virginia, a Frost Advisory has been issued by the NWS Baltimore MD/Washington DC.

The advisory is in effect from 2 AM to 9 AM EDT on Thursday, emphasizing the need to protect plants from the cold.
Similarly, in Forest and Jefferson Counties in Pennsylvania and Eastern Tucker County in West Virginia, another Frost Advisory has been issued by the NWS Pittsburgh PA.

Conversely, an Extreme Heat Warning has been issued by the NWS San Juan PR for urban and coastal areas of Puerto Rico, the eastern interior of Puerto Rico, Vieques, Culebra, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The warning highlights the significant impact of high heat and humidity on health systems, heat-sensitive industries, and infrastructure. Heat-related illnesses are expected to increase during this extreme heat event, urging residents to stay cool and hydrated.
